from general contribution by or tax
upon the county, and thus. in turn
while promoting the best interests of
the whole county, make compensation
into these localities which feel that thew
are lnequitably taxed to support the
county bridge.
This article is already too long. But.
before concluding it, attention is called
to the fact that the REAL burden of
maintaining the bridge by the county at
large, has for some reason been much
overdrawn. Without now going into de-
tails, careful estimate, based upon all
the information readily obtainable
from the county records, and upon
valuation of 100000, shows that the
expense of supporting the county
bridge, including the cost of rebuilding
1t entire once every fifteen years, costs
the tax payers of the county less than
fifty cents per year on each 81 900 of
property, subject to taxation. The last
equal1zed valuation of the county, was
more than 50, 100000, and the wealth of
the countyis constantly increasing In
view OF the way in which assessments
are known to be made, the average tax
payers OF the county-the great major
lty OF the whole number-do not in fact
pay over twenty-five cents per year to
maintain the bridge and the vast ma
iority pay even less than that sum.
They will of course continue to pay less
each year In future as the taxable prop
erty Of the county shall increase in
value. While this is true, to compel
the two cities to bear the WHOLE expense
would be very burdensome to them,
and to compel the PEOPLE who actually
and habitably USE the bridge-mostly
those who are poor and least able to
pay as has already been shown-to
maintain it by TOLLS directly levied
upon them for the purpose, would be
most unjust and oppressive, and dis
astrous in its results. 1t is confidently
believed and submitted that upon
careful consideration of this subject
and in view Of the undeniable facts
more Weighty and more lasting than i'll
considered assertions the proposition
embodied in Mr.. Lathrop's bill (No.
629 A. will meet neither the favor of
the Legislature nor that of the people
of Wood county.

The Local Paper

What is it which is always advertising
your place by constantly showing up its
advantages? The local paper. What
calls the attention of the people to your
fertile soil, health of the locality, and
every advantage you possess? The
local paper only. Witout money and
without price the local paper proclaims
a child is born, a son is given and some
fond grandma in the east or in the far
west rejoices. 1t follows the child to
school and tells of it's success, speaks
proudly of it's graduating grafton, as if
he was one of the family, notes every
move he makes, chronicles his success
full business movement, goes rejoicing
with him to the alter, and tell his friends
of the happy event, the girls, the flowers
and the songs; and in the funeral cOrtege
of the grown up man, it is as sincere a
mOurner as the teacher or pastor. The
teacher speaks of bis death to his class
mates his pastor to the congregation,
but the local paper tells the world The
fond old grandma gets the paper again
and reads-"Died in this village -
Then there is blank, eyes already dim
are tear blind now; the paper is laid
away with the one announcing his birth,
the graduating Grafton, and the wedding.
They are old and yellow but they are
precious memorials. The great city
papers read by grandma are forgot
ten long ago. They told of great
wars in Europe but never mentioned
the birth or death of her grandson, and
they are more to her than all Europe.
Without money and without price the
local paper speaks Of every improve
ment, encourages every enterprise,
thunders down the wall of corruption
gives notice Of fairs, festivals, feasts, and
fasts; of choir meetings, meetings OF
boards, committees, political and reGg-
ious, of decorations, lodge meetings,
literary entertainments, births, benev-
client societies, and burials; on all Of
which subjects the city papers are silent
as the grave.-Exchange

How They Bake Beans in Boston.

grandmothers knew more about cooking our

The old ladies aforesaid soaked the beans in
cold water during Friday night. On SATURDAY.
morning they changed the water, and parboiled
them gently for two hours. Then they gave
them good rinsing and put them in pot with
good-siaed piece of salt pork with a streak of
lean in it. Then they baked the beans slowly
during the day, and suffered them to remain in
the oven through Saturday night. taking care
to have plenty of water in the pot during the
process of cooking On Sunday, whether for

The commissioners Of Dawson county

year. After the new law went into
eifcct-in March llst--the Bel solicited
the commissioners to publish their pro-
cccdings in three papers. This the board
refused to do, basing their refusal on the
ground that their contract with the Re
publican was siill good in law. /; seems
that they haze changed their minds
Very much the same situation Of affairs
exists in Brule county, save that the
board in this county have not acted as
wisely as the Dawson county board.
The board made u contract with the
Chamberlain Dewocsatto publish their

that paper still has the sole publication
of the proceedings despite the fact that
the law expressly provides that the pro-
cecdings must be published in three
!. newspapers in the county and has been
in force since its approval March II.
The board. as we understand the matter,
has not made any change partly because
they did not have genuine copy Of the
law and mostly because they-lilSe the
Dawson county board-reasened that
ltheir contract was good until it expired,
